The Volvo V60 is a small five-door that marks the return of the traditional Volvo wagon to the U.S. market. It showed up at dealerships very early in 2014 as a 2015 model. The standard V60 has now been joined by a mildly crossover-esque version, the V60 Cross Country.

The V60 is far from the boxy Volvo wagons of the Seventies and Eighties. Instead, it's a low, sleek, sporty wagon version of Volvo's current mid-size sedan, the S60, which was launched in 2010 as a new design. The V60 is offered with three different powertrains, including base versions with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive and a high-performance model.

Because it's not the squared-off Volvo wagon you're used to, it's also not cavernous inside. The V60 is akin to other small European wagons, which can be considered biggish hatchbacks to some extent. Volvo says the V60 is for folks who want something more versatile than a sports sedan but that handles just as well, and it doesn't plan to sell a ton of them here as a result. That said, there has been positive feedback to the company on the return of a non-crossover five-door to the Volvo lineup.

Although the V60 offers plenty more room inside than an S60 sedan, it is by no means the cargo-hauling king in the manufacturer's lineup. The brand's three crossover vehicles beat the V60 in that measure, as the low, sleek roofline of this wagon keeps the cargo hold to a moderate size. With the rear seats folded, the V60 can swallow 43 cubic feet of stuff. As in the S60 sedan, the V60's rear seat can be tight for adults; it offers a ski pass-through and can also fold in a versatile 40/20/40 arrangement.

As launched for 2015, the $35,300 base V60 T5 uses Volvo's new "Drive-E" direct-injected and turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. It generates 240 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, driving the front wheels only through a new eight-speed automatic transmission. Volvo notes that the Drive-E engine has an "overboost" mode, in which its turbocharger can boost torque to 280 lb-ft under hard acceleration for up to 10 seconds. This is the V60 model with the fastest acceleration: Volvo quotes a 0-to-60-mph time of just 6.1 seconds.

A step up the ladder brings the V60 T5 AWD, which uses the older corporate five-cylinder making 250 horsepower; it's mated to a six-speed auto and all-wheel drive, with a starting price of $36,800. There's also a T6 R-Design model with a 325-horsepower inline-six and standard all-wheel drive, which costs $44,300. Through its dealers, Volvo also offers a Polestar-tuned V60 with even more power.

Ultimately, Volvo will migrate all of its vehicle lines to the new and highly efficient Drive-E engine family, but for the moment its use in the S60 and V60 will be restricted to front-wheel-drive models due to packaging constraints in a platform that's now in its sixth model year and due for replacement soon. The new engine includes a start-stop system as standard--it's very quick on the restart, which we applaud. All V60 models offer three drive modes: Normal, Sport, and Eco+, the latter of which cuts off the air conditioning when unneeded and remaps the throttle and transmission for more efficient performance.

Fuel efficiency for the new V60 is at its best with the Drive-E engine and front-wheel drive, at 29 mpg combined (25 mpg city, 37 mpg highway). The T5 AWD model comes in at 25 mpg combined, and the T6 R-Design at 23 mpg combined. A moonroof is standard equipment on all Volvo V60 models.

Volvo introduced models with the new Sensus Connect infotainment system as '2015.5' models, so as to differentiate them on dealer lots. The new system in the 2015.5 Volvo S60 includes Volvo On-call concierge and roadside-assistance services, cloud-based services, 3D maps for the navigation system, and new Harman/Kardon premium sound.

The V60 lineup is also gaining a Cross Country model that takes it slightly toward the crossover end of the wagon spectrum. A modest ground-clearance hike of 2.6 inches combines with some extra cladding and fender flares to produce a more rugged version of the small five-door. The related S60 sedan also receives a Cross Country version soon.
